LAFC forward Carlos Vela has been voted captain of the MLS All-Stars for the second year running.

The vote was conducted on Twitter with the hashtag #CaptainVela representing one vote. Orlando City SC forward Nani, D.C. United midfielder Wayne Rooney and San Jose Earthquakes striker Chris Wondolowski were the other nominees.

- Ibrahimovic: I am better than Carlos Vela 'by far'
- Vela hits back at Zlatan: I am playing better than you

LA Galaxy superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who engaged in a war of words with Vela before and after his hat trick led the Galaxy to a 3-2 win in the "El Trafico" derby last week, was not nominated.

The MLS All-Stars will take on Atletico Madrid on July 31 at Orlando's Exploria Stadium.

The Mexico international is the runaway leader in the league MVP race this season, with 21 goals and 12 assists. His combined total of 33 goals and assists is already tied for the fourth-most in league history.

With 13 games remaining in the regular season, Vela has a chance to break the regular season goal-scoring record of 31 set last season by Atlanta United's Josef Martinez.
